The purpose of this Ordinance is to establish a temporary moratorium on acceptance or consideration of applications for new cannabis and cannabinoid (CBD) sales, testing, manufacturing and distribution.

At the present time it is expected that the necessary study and implementation can be completed by January 1, 2025.

William “Bill” Wigstrom

1956-2023

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bill, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and cherished friend. On July 7, 2023, Bill tragically succumbed to an aortic aneurysm, leaving a void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Survived by his loving wife, Becky, his children, Billy (Niki), Stefanie (Andy), Stacia (Nino); his stepchildren, Jess (Bill), Sonja (Jeanette), Alli (Ricky); his siblings, Mary, Mike (Mary), Tony (Christi) & Jeff (Cathy). Preceded in death by parents, William Sr. and Joan Wigstrom, grandparents and several aunts and uncles.

Bill’s devotion to his wife and family was unwavering. He was blessed with twelve beautiful grandchildren and took great pleasure in their accomplishments, always offering loving support.

Bill had a long successful career as a director of operations in commercial construction prior to his retirement 5 years ago. He spent the bulk of his time working at Custom Drywall. He was highly respected by his co-workers and peers in the industry.

Bill was a man with a great zest for life. As an avid fisherman, Bill found solace and joy in fishing adventures with his family and friends, creating cherished memories on the waters.

Known for his vibrant spirit, Bill lived life to the fullest. His friendships were a testament to his warm-hearted nature and unwavering loyalty. He possessed a voice that could melt hearts, and his passion for singing resonated with all who had the privilege of listening. A true embodiment of joy, he danced with abandon, never hesitating to showcase his exuberant moves that brought laughter and happiness to those around him.

Coming from a large family, he found joy in all the laughter-filled gatherings with loved ones, where the aroma of homemade Italian cuisine filled the air, serving as a testament to the bond they all cherished. With the passing of Bill, the world has lost a bright light. His memory will forever remain etched in our hearts, and his spirit will continue to inspire us to live life with the same zest and love that he embodied.

A celebration of Bill’s life will be held on July 25th at Kellerman Event Center in White Bear Lake, 4-7 p.m.
